A simply furnished room with double bed and ample storage space in a large cottage, built 1733. It has not been overly modernised, but has central heating, modern shower/wetroom, and Wifi. Ideal base for exploring East Kent (Canterbury, Dover etc).

Spare room in Kentish cottage (built 1733): open fires, beams, etc. Not suitable for people with mobility problems. The room has double bed, is carpeted, has central heating and a walk-in wardrobe. Shared bathroom next to room; also a wetroom downstairs. We have a piano and a big garden, with a drive you can park on.
Towels and a hairdryer are provided.
Please note both the pillows and duvet are filled with feathers.
Breakfast is included: tea, coffee, fruit juice, and as much toast as you can eat - though I'll happily provide other things if you give me enough warning :-)
We have a Jack Russel...she's very friendly, but this is not a good place for someone who doesn't like dogs!
The house is on a street off the main road in a quiet village between Canterbury and Sandwich. At the back of the house there's a field full of rabbits, squirrels and birds.
The house is about a mile away from Howletts wild animal park.
Good bus service to Sandwich and Canterbury - every 20 minutes through the day (not so good in the evening or on Sundays!) The bus takes about 10 minutes to get from Canterbury to Littlebourne.
Half hourly train service from Canterbury to London (St Pancras/Charing Cross or Victoria); the fastest take just under an hour. The coaches (to Victoria) (National Express) are usually much cheaper but take about two hours.
Apart from being 4 miles from the world famous tourist destination of Canterbury, the village of Littlebourne is surrounded by beautiful countryside, and the sea is within half an hour to the north, east and south....oysters at Whitstable, glorious sandy beaches of Thanet, Turner at Margate, Dickens at Broadstairs, birdwatching on the sand dunes at Sandwich, a pier and two Tudor castles at Deal, the White Cliffs and Castle at Dover (not to mention frequent ferries to France) - and there's Britain's only official desert at Dungeness, about an hour south west of Canterbury.
All rooms downstairs and both bathrooms, but only their own bedroom!
Guests are welcome to relax in the garden, too.
Usually quite a lot! I am usually at home whenever the guests are in. I usually make breakfast for guests, but if they don't want my company, they only have to say :-)

It's quiet and rural. Canterbury is a very busy little town and I love it, but it is nice to get back to the peace and quiet of my garden.
I think the most important things to see here are Canterbury, and the coast: Dover, Whitstable, Broadstairs, Sandwich - depending on your tastes and amount of time available.
Buses to Canterbury run every 20 minutes throughout the day (Monday - Saturday) - but much less frequently in the evenings and on Sundays.
Guests can park on my drive, but as it's a little tricky to reverse into, most park in the layby just round the corner from my house (50 metres).
My dog loves people, but hates all other animals, so very sadly, I cannot accommodate anyone else's pets.

Had a great stay in Heather's cosy cottage in Littlebourne. Comfy bed with proper feather pillows and duvet, great chatting with Heather and cuddling her dog Katie. Thank you!

Robbie September 2016

Great place and host. We even arrived late and Heather was very accommodating. Would definitely recommend!

HenryJuly 2016

Heather is a great hostess and we enjoyed our stay. Clean room, good breakfast, near good pub food and a friendly dog to boot. The bed was really nice. Some places have futon mattresses. This is a good mattress. Thanks Heather.

BradSeptember 2016

We very much liked staying at Heather's, hers is a house full of character but also very confortable. Kathy the dog is very nice and funny and Canterbury just round the corner

SalvatoreJuly 2016

A great experience. Heather was really helpful and kind, making sure all my needs were met. Looking forward to the next visit. Very quiet area with good local inn "the anchor" just 5 minutes away.

JanetOctober 2014

This is a wonderful house in a beautiful village. The host Heather and her lovely daughter and Katy the dog made it a lovely stay. Warm, comfortable and quiet we couldn't ask for more. Travellers would be wise to consider this B&B. Sandi, from New Zealand

SandraJanuary 2016

Me and my boyfriend had a very pleasant stay at Heather's house. Heather knows everything about the local area and provided us with very good advices and tips about Canterbury. Thus, we could visit the Canterbury cathedral for free and also be part of the service! Thank you!

Kentish Rural retreat is a new project for us so please let us know how we are getting on and anything we need to improve.

Really pleased to have found this place. It was absolutely lovely, a gorgeous little purpose built cottage (a bit like a French-style "gite") in the grounds of an old mill that has been renovated in a stunning way. It was fully equipped with everything you'd want, and there were lots of nice little touches to make you feel at home. It was in the middle of the countryside, perfectly peaceful and exactly the kind of rural retreat we were after to escape the noise and dirty air of London for the weekend. Anita and Pete were really friendly and helpful and were always on hand for whatever we needed - even to the point that when we had some car trouble Pete helped us out and lent us tools! We'd definitely go back.

KevinJuly 2016

We received a lovely warm welcome upon arrival with a full explanation of how everything works and recommendations of the local area which were much appreciated. We were given maps of local walking routes, one of which we tried out and was lovely and there were leaflets on lot's of attractions and things to do. The accommodation was stunning and far exceeded any expectations we had from the original listing, it was the ultimate countryside retreat and we loved every moment of our stay. We also were given a recommendation for dinner at The Duck, a local pub, and I have to say it was the best birthday meal I have ever had.

SallyAugust 2016

We had a wonderful relaxing stay in this quiet spot in beautiful Kent countryside. We were there for our friends party and they helped find the best way of getting there. We will definitely be back and I have no qualms about recommending a stay here.

KristineAugust 2016

My boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at Anita's over bank holiday weekend. She was wonderfully welcoming and we were given plenty of provisions for our two day stay. The place itself is cosy, spotless and perfect for two. It is also a brilliant location from which to embark on plenty of walks and Anita kindly leant us some maps so we could explore. If you're looking for a quiet country getaway, I couldn't recommend it highly enough.

RachelAugust 2016

Me and my girlfriend had such a wonderful stay that we extended from 2 to 3 nights. Anita was a lovely host who provided croissants, jam, milk eggs and butter and was at hand whenever we needed her. The place is picture perfect and we couldn't have asked for a more comfortable homely self contained building/barn for which to enjoy our stay in. The local area is beautiful with welcoming pubs which made our stay even better. We chose to bring along bicycles to explore the countryside which I highly recommend. I can't thank Anita enough and I'm sure we will return in the future.

PaulAugust 2016

Amazing hosts, amazing property in the most beautiful countryside setting. Would highly recommend!

Brad November 2016

Great place, good location and wonderful hosts.

MikeSeptember 2016

Amazing place! Took my girlfriend there for her birthday and we both absolutely loved it! Anita and Pete and really chilled hosts, it felt like it was ours while we were staying. Asked Anita to buy some flowers and champagne so it was already there for when we arrived, which she did. Beautiful choice for both as well. Pros - Croissants, bread, tea, coffee, pint of milk, jams, butter already there ready to use. Fantastic space to relax. Biggest bed I've ever slept in! Spotlessly clean everywhere. Super comfy. In the middle of the countryside so really quiet. Windmill outside your front door. Amazing hosts. Cons - Didn't have enough time to spend there!

The oldest part of Grade 2 " listed Barham Court dates from .1400, while the current facade was built in 1723. The house and garden were renovated by famous architect Sir Edwin Lutyens in 1911, and beautiful countryside is right on your doorstep

Beautiful Barham Court is a stunning well preserved example of English heritage. At the centre of the house is a large paneled dining hall with fireplace. From the entrance hall you proceed through the piano room to the grand central hallway, with wood panels and sweeping staircase. Upstairs are the living quarters with modern bathrooms and comfortable beds. Arguably, the highlight of the house is the garden and terrace , which we encourage our guests to use as much as they like. The house is in the heart of the village but with direct access to beautiful countryside.

We love meeting new people, so feel free to spend as much time enjoying the surroundings at home as you please. If you'd like privacy, your rooms are your own haven with TV and internet. Occasionally we may have our grown-up children and grandchild staying, with their friendly dog, Pippin. Kate has excellent local knowledge and loves to help guests plan their excursions to get the most out of their time here

Barham is a charming old village between Canterbury and Dover. The excellent local country pub serving great food and English ales is a 2 minute walk away. The house adjoins the local 14th Century church. The village is set in the beautiful Elham valley with lovely walking and cycling close by and there are several other excellent country pubs and restaurants in easy reach . It is an easy drive to Canterbury, Dover and to the kent Coast We can give you lots of maps and information on things to see and do during your stay with us.
The house is a 15 minute drive from Canterbury stations. Canterbury is an hour from London on the High Speed Rail Link. From the station you may take a taxi or it might be possible to arrange a pickup with us.There is a regular bus service to and from Canterbury. Parking is available at the house. We are 15 minutes from the Channel Tunnel and the port of Dover - a perfect base for exploring London and France as well as the rest of Kent and the White Cliffs of Dover
We have a selection of bicycles (some old, some new) you may use to explore the local area, plus some walking and cycling maps to help you explore the countryside

What an incredible house and garden! We felt very welcome and the stay in Barham was a holiday highlight. Both the main bedroom and the small bedroom have great views over the garden. Barham is very close to Canterbury and Dover. Peter was very helpful with giving us recommendations for Canterbury. Kate and Peter were great hosts and we enjoyed our stay very much!

IsabellaApril 2016

Fantastic accomodation! This is not simply a stunning house to stay in, as everybody can easily see from the photos. This is the friendliest and warmest greeting you could get upon entering the UK via Dover. Kate and Peter are great hosts with a sophistcared but likewise most relaxed air around them. You will be made truly welcome. The rooms are spacious and beautiful, the beds are very good and the dedicated bathroom is simply excellent with its oversized shower and the bathtub with a Jane-Austen view. Staying with Kate and Peter at Barham will not dissapoint, unless you have booked too short a stay. Thanks!

MarcusJuly 2016

The Manor House was in a beautiful village with easy walk to the local pub for dinner. There is a double bed in the bedroom and a single bed in the connecting lounge area. The lounge area had a TV and bottled water. The beds and bathroom (down the hall) were clean and tidy.

CharlotteJanuary 2016

We were warmly welcomed by Kate and Peter at their stunning home. They were both very friendly and helpful throughout our visit. Our rooms (there was a sitting room as well as the bedroom) were very comfortable and the garden was glorious. Breakfast was exactly what we wanted. The property is within very easy reach of Canterbury and well located to visit the eastern part of Kent. I warmly recommend a stay here.

DonaldJune 2016

We had a warm welcome by Peter, and later on Kate in their magnificient house / manor in their lovely town. The room was bright and big, the bed warm and cosy, the breakfast everything we needed to start the day. The location is great to visit the beautiful gardens in the neighbourhood. Walking (or if you can climb some hills) cycling in this area is recommended. We only stayed one night and love to come back one day to explore other gardens (their own garden is a beauty too !) or discover the nice areas around this lovely town.

KurtMay 2016

Beautiful place to stay in a lovely part of the country. Peter and Kate were friendly hosts with lots of useful information about local things to do as well as places to go in London. We enjoyed our time there very much. Highly recommended!

JApril 2016

Super-host: It's no surprise Kate gets a super-host accolade, she's lovely, welcoming and helpful. Her and her son gave us a useful trail/ map to follow so my friends and I could go on a 2hr walk through some beautiful greenery. How we got there: We travelled via train from London St. Pancreas and got off at Canterbury West Station, had a wander around the city centre (5 mins walk away) and then got a cab to the manor (which was about £20 from the station). The Manor: Is just as beautiful as the pictures, the garden particularly because you get great views of the house. The bedroom (and adjoining living area) makes you feel you're tucked away if you want some privacy. Perfect for... : A short weekend away with friends, family or a partner.

Barry offers a very good local taxi service, and he is familiar with our hard to find address... (URL HIDDEN)
The tent is in a clearing in the wood accessed by a woodland path. You can drive to the beginning of the path but no further. This makes the accommodation unsuitable if you have difficulties walking on uneven ground or use a wheelchair.
We keep chickens and bees. We also have a friendly dog.
The tent has one double bed that can be split into two singles, we can provide 1 more camping mattress and bedding. You are welcome to bring a travel cot if you need it.
The site is very big and at times we might have visitors or delegates attending workshops. This would be well away from the tent camp and out of sight.
The wood is crossed with private footpaths and we sometimes walk along with visitors and often with Ted, we try to be respectful of our guests privacy as we get around.

Great welcome to a beautiful location! We had everything we needed and a really fantastic night's sleep. The woods are beautiful, and the fields around really lovely too. We had a great time, thank you both.

AlexSeptember 2016

Great set-up. Quiet camp in woods. Gas camping stove convenient to cook on. The farm is signed from the road, but ask for directions ahead of travelling. Pack torches.

MatthewJuly 2016

A home away from home! We had the happiest of weekends staying at Bell Tent! One of the best nights sleep I've had since moving to the UK! The accommodation and surrounding scenery are inviting, peaceful, and beautiful! Loved making meals over a campfire and sharing laughs under the stars, we can't wait to go back!

aliSeptember 2016

We spent a lovely couple of days here and can’t recommend it highly enough. It’s a beautiful, secluded location in the middle of some private woodland in the Kent countryside. We loved cooking over an open fire, wandering through the woods, and walking to the nearby villages. The tent is very comfortable and the hosts supply some basic cooking and eating utensils, water carrier, coolbox etc. It’s a lovely site; they’ve obviously put a lot of thought and love into it, and they were very friendly and helpful.

NickAugust 2016

My husband and I and 6yr old daughter enjoyed the playing in the woods and being cosy and warm in the bell tent despite it being chilly and rainy outside. Cristina is a super lady who will go out of her way to make you feel at home.

JoOctober 2016

The stay in the Bell Tent is a perfect hideaway in nature. Amongst the trees we foraged chestnuts for breakfast and avoided the exotic range of mushrooms growing wild in the woods! The surrounding area of rolling hills is lovely for walks and the hosts are welcoming and extremely helpful. We're looking forward to returning again next year!

LeonOctober 2016

The tent has everything you could need and the setting is magical! We enjoyed exploring the Elham Valley Way, and had a great meal at the pub in Barham.

HannahAugust 2016

We spent four days in this beautiful tent and mostly in the private forest surrounding it. We had planned to go out more but ended up just enjoying the unique peace and quiet of Woodland farm. We'll definitely be back!

We loved staying at Letitia's house! What a warm welcome after a long journey. The house was gorgeous, clean, towels fluffy and everything fresh. The children, both 5, enjoyed the garden and all the places to play hide and seek in the cottage. Letitia supplied extra toys and books to keep them entertained. We were chuffed to bits and pieces with the thought that had gone into our stay and will be sure to visit again one day. Well done Letitia :-) a triumph indeed!

ClaireAugust 2016

We had a wonderful stay in the lovely house and garden. Letitia did everythyting to make us feel welcome. The gibson farm store nearby had delicious meat and vegetables.

Laetitia's cottage is wonderful. We - 4 swiss and 2 spanish people - on our way to Dover, spent only 1 night here, but would come back to stay longer if we could. Everything is perfect: the house, the beautiful garden, the nature around. Clean, friendly, helpful hosts. Everything as you expect it should be. Thanks very much, Laetitia, for this wonderful last evening in England Maya and friends

MaikaJuly 2016

Beautiful and comfortable cottage, our stay was so relaxing and quiet! There's a great farm shop and lovely walks nearby. Host was really helpful and gave us tips on places to go. Thanks again Letitia!

NatalieJuly 2016

Just returned from an idyllic week at Hop Cottage. The cottage itself is beautiful and really well equipped. The garden is so pretty and we enjoyed a couple of bbq's in the evening, just relaxing and enjoying the peace and quiet. Letitia was a fantastic host, going above and beyond to look after us - she even provided some toys for our young son. The location is great, easy access to Canterbury, Margate and Dover. We also ventured a bit further afield to Sissinghurst and Chartwell - both well worth the drive. The farm shop down the road pretty much provides everything you need food-wise. I'd definitely recommend this lovely place for a relaxing break.

Located on a high point in a shallow valley, with views across open countryside. A close community, with shops, schools, allotments, sports ground and various clubs. At the heart of the village is a large central open space, stretching from the Market Place down to the local railway station.
With great access via rail and road there's plenty to discover and enjoy locally, along the Kentish coastline and in the nearby cathedral city of Canterbury, with its university, colleges and wonderful range of restaurants, cafes and shops.
Local recreation in Aylesham offers clubs, shops, cafe and open spaces. To the west of the village is Spinney Wood providing another great adventure, popular with walkers. The village is located in some of Kent's most attractive countryside, easily explored along the many paths and bridleways.
There is good train and bus access to Canterbury and further afield.
Though enjoying a country setting, Aylesham offers great access via rail to metropolis life, such as bustling Canterbury city in about 12 minutes and a well connected by road, via the B2046 to the A2 and M2.

We had just a very short stay at nicolas house as we arrived very late. We didn't met Nicola but her introductions were clear and the correspondence was great. We had a lovely room and the shared bathroom was very clean. They also prepared a nice Breakfast. We would definitely come back !

Teresa August 2016

Nicola and Gareth were great hosts, they were very friendly and made us feel most welcome, everything was as described. Their town house is located half way between Canterbury and Dover and is really easy to find. We could not have asked for better hosts, thank you so much Nicola and Gareth for making our stay so enjoyable.

SandraOctober 2016

We had such a good time at Nicolas house. Although we could only stay for one day, it felt like a second home. Nicola and her husband are so friendly and helpful (espescially with directions when we arrived). We had very nice conversations with them. I would recommend everyone to stay at their place. When we will come back to England, we will definitly stay again at Nicolas house.

A fantastic cosy place to stay. My partner and I really liked the relaxed atmosphere that the studio gives. It is a great space that you will want to spend time in especially because of the games, music and comfy soft furnishings. We liked how close it was to the train station to get into Canterbury for dinner. The toilet, bathroom and kitchen are outside of the studio but that's made clear in the description and wasn't a problem for us. Sally was a very friendly host. Thank you Sally!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at the Straw Bale Studio. Sally and Chris were very accommodating. The roundhouse was very clean and cosy and the decking area was the perfect place to watch the sunset over the flower fields. We relaxed in the evening outside amongst the sounds of birds chirping while getting cosy next to the wood burner. The kitchen area was clean and the fridge was packed with lots of lovely food for breakfast. The roundhouse was very well insulated so was cosy at night, while its design meant it kept cool and comfortable in the day. This is the perfect place to stop if you want to get back to nature, spend a night somewhere different while still having all the mod cons. Thank you to you both for a magical stay.

Sally and Chris are terrific hosts, giving their guests everything needed for a self-sufficient getaway. The Spiral itself is a masterpiece, quite how it was hand-built is anyone's guess. It is a beautiful space, full of natural light and a warmth so complimentary to the natural environment surrounding it. Somehow (the engineering is staggering), whatever is used goes back into the ground, so we unwittingly did our bit in contributing nutrients to the flower beds, simply by running the tap! My roommate and I were extremely well provided for, from breakfast items, to shower gels and shampoos, to chocolates by the side of the bed. There was even a sound system with a great collection of relaxing albums to pick and choose as you see fit. It is difficult not to feel settled right away. To be given full reign of our own kitchen and patio meant that we could sip wine by candlelight and wile away the evenings playing chess - just heavenly. Whenever we had a hankering for civilisation, proximity to a gorgeous hamlet by the name of Patrixbourne made it a simple question of walking down country lanes gently animated by cottages with streams tinkling past their front ages, lazy bumblebees meandering through big bold splashes of roadside rhododendrons. The train station of Bekesbourne is practically in Sally and Chris's back garden making a trip to Canterbury, or Whitstable (where my partner and I happened to enjoy the annual Oyster Festival quite unexpectedly), a piece of cake. Should you wish to soak up the Spiral to its fullest, most relaxing extent, we highly recommend taking a session led by the hosts, which cannot but induce pure psychic calm. We were utterly taken aback with this fantastic sanctuary. If you're in the market for a peaceful retreat with quick links to Kentish towns and cities, this is the place for you. Thank you Sally and Chris for making our trip so pleasurable.

We had an amazing time at the Spiral Straw Bale Studio. Sally and Chris were exceptional hosts who went out of their way to make our stay one of the best I've had through AirBnB. The location is perfect for a getaway from London, with direct trains and an easy walk to the house. Sally and Chris are also very knowledgable and were kind enough to arrange to teach us a session last minute from their extensive menu of workshops and it was incredible. We learned so much and felt so welcomed by Sally. I highly encourage anyone staying to check out their available services on their website, as it will definitely make your retreat even more amazing! The location is also very good. There is a zoo and some country shops and a coffee shop within walking distance, so you get the country atmosphere without needing a car. Overall, I couldn't recommend Sally & Chris's Spiral Straw Bale Studio any more!

CaseyJune 2016

Very nice house, near the Bekesbourne station .close to nature, but also very Environmental .Sally and Chirs are very friendly. It is the good stay for you to visit Canterbury .

jieNovember 2015

Sally was a great host, meeting us off the train and walking us down to the spiral. She was contactable throughout or stay for anything we needed. The cottage is absolutely lovely, a really pretty space. We were there over new years, and with the woodburner it wasn't too cold at any point. Its easy to get into Canterbury, as the tain station is only a couple of hundred meters from the cottage, and trains only take 5 minutes to Caterbury East.

MichaelJanuary 2016

This is a perfect place for a weekend away - although I wish we could have stayed longer! Really tranquil, cosy and grounding. And the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in! Sally and Chris were amazing hosts and super knowledgeable. This is born out of passion. Just remember some slip-on shoes as toilet/kitchen are separate buildings. Fran The straw bale house is both calming and inspiring (as were our hosts). A great city getaway with excellent transport links to London and the seaside. Craig

FranOctober 2015

Sally and Chris were lovely hosts and they did everything possible to make us feel welcome. They were a lovely couple and the spiral bale studio was gorgeous, a lovely space to be be in, especially if you live in a busy city! There was a lovely field in front of the house and we made a lovely bbq, which went down a treat. There were provisions left for breakfast, which was wonderful. We also used their bikes and went to Littlebourne and the local farms, where it's great to buy meat and local ciders. I definitely recommend this place if you want to disconnect from a busy place and relax surrounded by nature.

The rooms I've had on Airbnb have proved very popular, with many good reviews. My daughter's now at university, so I'm adding her "homework room" to the site. Same hospitality and breakfast, nice garden, cute dog! Ideal base to explore East Kent.

A relatively large, simply furnished room with single bed in a large cottage, built 1733. Please note there is no wardrobe in this room, but it does have a nice big desk with a comfortable chair!
The house has not been overly modernised, but has central heating, modern shower/wetroom, and Wifi.
Ideal base for exploring East Kent (Canterbury, Dover etc).
All rooms downstairs, both bathrooms, but only their own bedroom!
I am in nearly all the time.

East Kent is stuffed full of history! From the Romans and Vikings, through the Normans and Tudors, to the Napoleonic and World Wars, this corner of England has always been of huge importance.
The most important thing to see is of course Canterbury Cathedral, but then there's the White Cliffs of Dover, Whitstable, Broadstairs, Sandwich, Faversham, and dozens of pretty villages with picturesque pubs with good local beer and food! There are also dozens of castles and gardens which are open to the public.
Kent is "The Garden of England"; there's very little industry, and it's mainly agricultural. Canterbury, however, has an extremely high student population, and is a very busy, vibrant city, still retaining some of its medieval streets. There is also a large modern shopping centre.
The coast is within a half hour drive of Littlebourne to the north, east and south. All the seaside areas and towns around the coast are very different; there are vast sandy beaches, massive chalk cliffs, fishing towns, acres of sand dunes and mudflats, and Victorian seaside resorts with the original piers.
Buses from Littlebourne to Canterbury go every 20 minutes throughout the day - much less frequently in the evenings and on Sundays.
The bus stop is 300m from my house.
The WiFi code number is on a card on the desk.

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay with Heather. She lives in a beautiful house in a nice village in the countryside . She shared with me a lot about her life and her knowledge about Kent. I would no doubt go back there....

MartinaleJuly 2016

Heather made me feel very welcome and was a great host. She wants to make sure that her guests have a truly enjoyable experience. Heather's place was exactly as described. I would definitely book again if I need a place to stay in the area! Thanks!

MichaelMarch 2016

Heather is a natural host making you feel at home from the outset. The room is clean, spacious: I felt nice being there. Overall, much more than I was expecting. Katie would like to nibble from your toast at breakfast; she is lovely too.

OswaldoSeptember 2016

I arrived to get good impressions instantly. Heather was really welcomimg, and kind. She offerd my tea/coffee and showed the house. The place was jut like on the photos. I usually choose, by the atmosphere of the pics, and it was exactly just like that really. It felt really homey to stay there. After all, I got plenty of good advices, where to go, what to see,...not just in the neighborhood, in all Kent. It was a perfect experience, I definitely recommend it.

Comfortable flat within walking distance of shops, city centre and iconic cricket ground. Parking available and room is spacious with Victorian High ceilings and pleasant environment with quietness and privacy. Own toilet and shower. Great for business people or single tourist. Good restaurants and supermarkets all 5-15 mins walk.

Large double room with desk space, tea and coffee making facilities, chest of drawers, shelving and comfy armchair. Own iron and ironing board in room. Access to own bathroom and shower and toiletries provided. Full access to small kitchen and Wi-fi and washer dryer available on request. Hair dryer provided.
Guests can use any items in the kitchen and can cook and use fridge and microwave.
I am usually around to welcome guests and work across the road from the flat. You can arrive most days but you can't check in on Saturdays and Sunday check in is 7pm. I am often working evening and daytime so you will find the flat a very private space for you.

It's a really beautiful area, close to shops but also only 15 mins to walk into the centre of Canterbury with the Cathedral and city centre. There is nice hotel next door where they serve full English breakfast called the Ebury. You have tea and coffee making facilities in your room.
There is a Waitrose and Tesco on New Dover Road and Sainsburys at the cricket ground. All within about 5 mins walking distance.
There is a bus stop very close to the flat and you are about 15 min walking distance from Canterbury East and 25 mins walk to West Station for high speed trains. The walk is straight through the town centre and not difficult.
The flat is on the first floor of a Victorian building. There is a lift.

Ickham is a beautiful 'one street' village with a collection of historic dwellings and a local church. The surrounding pubs are fantastic and there is a great sense of community. It's a very quick drive to Canterbury as well as being close to Sandwich ( for golf & quaint architecture) and Dover (for connections to France )
There is a bus which picks you up from outside the Duke William pub several times a day
We have 2 beautiful doggies, a black lab called Widgie and a westie called Puff...
They are extremely gentle and love attention, and will always welcome you at the front door!

Shereens BnB was really beautiful & very comfortable. The room looked out onto a beautiful garden view and the bathroom was large and modern. The breakfast was also very delicious using lots of locally sourced ingredients! Would definitely recommend.

LauraJuly 2016

Shereen was a very attentive host. Her home was lovely, clean and fresh looking. We want to steal your bathroom design! She made us a great breakfast which set us up nicely for the rest of the day.

JamesAugust 2016

A lovely b&b in a very peaceful village. Shereen is a very gracious host with a lovely house (and two very sweet dogs).

ArenJune 2016

Everything was lovely and as we had expected from the profile. Shereen was very welcoming and helpful.

MaryAugust 2016

Our experience with Shereen and her B&B was first class! she called us the day of arrival to check what time we would like to check in, as we were going to a Simply Red concert and were not sure what time we would be there later that evening. After confirming at would be about 10pm - she reassured us that was completely fine. We eventually arrived at about 10.30pm that evening. Shereen was there to great us and take us to our room. The room was superb with en-suite and everything thing you could want, tea, coffee, water - even a Congac or Part was available in the room. Evry detail was thought of. We then woke up the following morning to a picturesque view overlooking the beautiful garden and topped with an amazing breakfast. wish all B&B's were of this standard. Thanks Shereen we'll be back. Best wishes Paul & Emi

paulJune 2016

A lovely rural base. Shereen was very welcoming and got in touch to offer directions etc. We know the village of Ickham well but for anyone who hasn't been I can definitely recommend it for a weekend location - peaceful and rural but convenient for Canterbury. The house is modern and so not one of the historic homes in the village, but it was beautifully decorated with amazing views across the fields and the facilities were great. If you have a full breakfast you may not want to eat any lunch as it was VERY generous and delicious! The bed was very comfortable, the shower was hot and swanky and the decor very nice. We'd be happy to stay there again.

KateSeptember 2016

Shereen made me feel so very welcome! The house and room/en suit are beautiful and the village and surrounding countryside are totally idyllic. I can't recommend this B&B highly enough. Breakfast perfect too!

One mile east of the beautiful city of Canterbury, Magnolia Gardens is a three bedroom two bathroom mobile home. Nestled amongst many varieties of Magnolia trees you will be in easy reach of picturesque Kentish villages, Whitstable and the Kent coast. There is a large garden for your dog too.

There is a bus stop a short walk away.

It is a quiet neighbourhood with lots of nature around; like a countryside living. There is a big space outdoor for activities. The place is cozy and met our intention of spending quality family time together. Our host is friendly and helpful.

Woon WeiSeptember 2016

Joe has an amazing property with a spacious separate home out the back, completely setup with everything you need. He is a great host. I would highly recommend anyone to stay here whilst visiting Canterbury.

Joe is a helpful and friendly host. We were able to enjoy our privacy at the same time knowing we could call on Joe as he lives on site. There were no surprises, what you see is what you get and this was perfect for our needs. Thank you Joe.

RinaSeptember 2016

This is basic accommodation but OK. The location is close to Canterbury and would suit a family as there is lots of space around the house. The heating system worked well as the nights were cool. The beds were comfortable. Joe appeared to be a friendly person.

Joe was an excellent host and his place was perfect for our weekend away. The location is really beautiful and great for a break from busy London. Canterbury town is easily accessible via a bus or 5 minute cab ride and really conveniently located for exploring the city. Would definitely stay again.

SiobhanOctober 2016

It was exactly what we wanted and expected. the place is lovely, very peaceful, only 5 minutes drive to Canterbury to walk about and back to this small lovely paradise. Joe was really helpful when we needed him (we almost didn't, it was straight forward) and even let us stay few hours more just because there was no booking ahead of us and we just wanted to squeeze few more hours of relaxation. the perfect retreat!

OzSeptember 2016

Had a lovely stay at Magnolia Gardens. Immaculately clean chalet with everything you could need. Very comfortable with plenty of space both inside and outside the chalet. Joe was very helpful, thoughtful and welcoming. Perfect place for a quiet getaway as well as trips into Canterbury. We look forward to returning already!

LouiseJune 2016

Very comfortable accommodation in a great location close to Canterbury. Directions and arrival process excellent which after a long drive was much appreciated. Plenty of space and nice large garden area for the dog to enjoy. Would definitely recommend.

A great space for a weekend stay,, with a queen size double bed and your own ensuite bathroom with a large shower. It is possible to add 2 children's beds/cots to this very large room at extra cost £10 per child (0-16 yrs) per night
Guests have access to their own private room, which has a lovely sheltered balcony overlooking peaceful mature gardens. Breakfast is served in our kitchen/lounge area. There is a large communal garden which guests may use.
We are easily available on site and also by mobile phone should guests need any help or advice. A substantial good quality buffet breakfast is provided every day for guests who stay with us.

This is a good location for access to the City, County Cricket and Rugby, and is very close to local hospitals and schools. We have a good choice of pubs and cafes nearby.
There are very good public transport links right outside the property, and we can offer parking for one car. It takes about 10 minutes to walk down to the City centre.
The apartment is accessed via a large modern communal staircase which may be an access issue for some potential guests.
Good children's facilities eg high chairs, cots, toys etc

Jacqui make us feel welcome and very much at home. The appartment is a very late room with onsuite and you are allowed to use the living/kitchen area.but no cooking. The accommodation is very close to the town centre with good pubs around for dinner. The appartment is at the rear of the building which helps with the road noise and is in the second floor. The breakfast provided was unexpected and beautiful. It really was an excellent stay.

MichaelSeptember 2016

Jacqui's immaculate apartment, situated just opposite Kent Cricket Ground is a fantastic place to stay if you are interested in exploring Canterbury but also keen to escape for a quieter evening away from the pubs and clubs. It is a brisk 15 mins walk up Old Dover Road from Canterbury Bus Station (or a 5 minute taxi ride). The spacious bedroom and pristine living room/kitchen area made for a really comfortable stay and Jacqui was a superb host - available to help and advise at all times. It was lovely chatting with her over the wonderful breakfast that she lays on. The building is well insulated and makes for a peaceful nights sleep. There is also a Sainsburys 30 seconds away for those odd ends should you need them. I would strongly recommend booking to stay here; you will not be disappointed!

IainJune 2016

Jacqui was the perfect host and her apartment was outstanding. My partner and I stayed for the bank holiday weekend and had a fantastic time. The large apartment was extremely comfortable and very quiet. Each morning we were offered a healthy breakfast with lots of choice and we thoroughly enjoyed chatting to Jacqui whilst we ate. The apartment was an easy walk into Canterbury city centre , which was super as it meant we didn't need to try and find parking. Parking at the apartment was available. The apartment was reached by climbing a few small flights of stairs, but as I was heavily pregnant and managed them, I don't think this will be a problem for most people. Jacqui had provided everything in the apartment needed for a weekend away, in terms of toiletries, towels/robes, plenty of drinks and fruit/biscuits and lots of local maps and places to visit info. Highly recommend the apartment and the location and will definitely be returning. :) Thank you Jacqui x

Jacqui was very helpful, friendly and informative. We had breakfast both mornings which consisted of a choice of cereals, yogurt, bread and pastries. Jacqui also offered tea coffe Juice and eggs made to order.

An hour and a half drive from London, and set in the beautiful countryside of Kent, known for its apple and pear orchards and hop fields.

Dogs are made very welcome with a bowl and towels provided. We hope to be back in another season to enjoy more of the pleasant private garden and the surrounding walks.

I visited for a weekend with three friends with no particular plan. The house was so nice that we didn't really want to leave! We had an open fire and watched TV and just took a well earned break. The beds were so comfortable, and everything was very luxurious, even the towels! It has all the mod cons and had a fantastic time - couldn't recommend this place enough!

The Old Coach House certainly lived up to its billing: Cozy and welcoming. Very astute use of old and new. The cottage itself reflects Jane's approach: Inviting and welcoming. Spent 3 nights here over Christmas with my family and we had all we needed. Jane was so thoughtful and kind: she even put up a wonderfully decorated Christmas tree. There is everything to recommend both Jane and the house. I cannot imagine how anyone would not love the cottage.

Before we even arrived, Jane was helpful and lovely, which is the way it remained throughout the course of our weekend stay. The house had just been renovated (a month previous) and you could totally tell. The finish in her property and the beautiful views in her garden made for a wonderful break. Jane was informative about the area and beyond, attentive to everything we needed at the cottage and, on our arrival, she had provided us with tea, coffee and brekkie bits which was perfect as we didn't want to go out again. Jane even posted back my backpack which I'd accidentally left there, which really went above and beyond! Absolutely guaranteed a great stay there!
